Supper Club is Back in a Simplified Version!

The ever-popular Sligo Creek Education Foundation Supper Club is back!!! Our organization works with local restaurants to make dining out and raising money easy. You get a night off cooking and cleaning, and the restaurant donates a portion of your dinner bill to the Sligo Creek Education Foundation. You also get the benefit of building community. It's a win-win!!! You may opt to dine in or order carry out. Currently we have our final event of the year scheduled on:

Tuesday, September 12th 6-10: Cava in downtown Silver Spring

Wednesday, October 18th 4-8: Chipotle in downtown Silver Spring

Wednesday, February 28th at 7:30: Auction and 3 Course Dinner and Beer Paring at McGinty's-Ticket information to coming soon! See below for more information on the auction.
